Nadal has a win over Federer in Dubai which is one of the fastest courts in the world. Back then Nadal was still crap on hard courts. Federer has got no chance. I'm tired of this so called rivalry. Federer always gets stuffed. A rivalry is only a rivalry if the result is in doubt. Everyone knows Nadal is going to win.

The only way federer wins is if rafa gets the virus and withdraws from the tournament. Then at least we'll have a fun final between nole and fed where the outcome won't be predermined beforehand but nole would still be the big fave.

Fed will be beaten in 2 sets and then rafa will claim he had the virus but still pushed to the final while losing easily to nole.

nadal will moonballing fed`s backhand and run a like horse to return all shots and frustrate roger.

nothing new

by the way , nadal will be tired for this match against nalby and with roger it`s possible too , he will play doubles final with marc lopez after the semis tomorrow , if nole win against isner i don`t think that he will lose against this nadal , nole by now has the mental advantage and more rested than nadal

You saw again today how slow this court is...and how high Dave was having to take the double hander...so obviously big advantage Nadal...as always on the slow/high courts. However, Federer is serving extremely well this week and getting big spin and smackage on the ball. He will give himself a shout for sure.
